(nice kitten!)

Good afternoon, patchouli smelling, here, I've tested a few: Nightscape by Ulrich Lang, L'incroyable Patchouli by Réminescence and Mazzolari Patchouli... Now I must find out and thank the kind BN lady who suggested Mazzolari to me, a few months ago, 'cause I think I'm falling in love....

NICOLAÏ POUR HOMME

Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."
Clarice Lispector ( 1920-1977) - Perfumes da Terra / Earth Perfumes

Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual...Carl Sagan

Kiliwia is back to my favorite plumerias, very eye-pleasing and smelling of a tropical vacation too. I think I would look for some tropical scents to sniff for this coming summer. Iodine, I think the person you are looking for is ExtremeK, she is very keen on the house of Mazzolari in general and was wearing them day in and day out all autumn long.

Yesterday was an excellent day here, placed an order for teas with Amazon -- it is becoming a wonderful Valentine's Day tradition and the teas last me the whole year. Beats soda any time too!

Today's sync is the house of Guerlain. While I am partial to their time-proven classics -- booooo and harhar dee harhar, right? -- like Shalimar and Jicky and many many more -- I DO enjoy me a benchmark specimen every once in a while. Fleur de Feu, of which I think there is only two or three bottles left in the whole world.

Have a nice day, bunch. And extra hugs to those who would not push them away.

Good morning to this fine smelling group!

I'm in my decant of Lyric which arrived yesterday. Wow, is this a girlie perfume. So different from a lot of what I've been wearing lately. It's grown up, and unabashedly feminine. On me, it comes off as the perfect perfume to wear with a sleek black dress and pearls, hair up, at the symphony, with an amazing pair of black pumps. I love it, but I don't expect it will get every day wear. I'll probably save it for those special occasions.

Re: SotD Friday, 15 February 2013

Hello, all my cuties
Larimar, you will look fabulous in the Lyric attire And the cat is all ears!
Mike, do feel better. Things settle, it is just the getting there. Hug for you today.
Twolf, you are being a good sport today on Guerlain synch

I totally bailed on the synch, almost wore SDV from a sample, but chose to stay with my favorite house - Chanel Coromandel for me today. Possibly applied a little too much for work, but they will just have to deal

And, FINALLY, TGIF!!! Wine oclock starts at 6 tonight, unsure of the flavor since it will not be my choice. It is all good though!

I admit, I laughed out loud when I read this. The ever-observant Twolf is right -- I gave the recommendation, and I in fact spent most of the autumn in either Mazzolari Patchouly or Mazzolari Lei. I do love them both One of these days, I will cease being surprised at Twolf's wonderful memory. I'm trying to figure out what to try next from that house. I suspect I'd enjoy Lui, but I would like to try one of their feminines as well.

Well done on the tea order, Twolf! Do you have a favorite or two?

I believe I am going to lemming today and spritz myself with Mazzolari Patchouly -- partial scent twins with iodine.

Mike, as you know, the wonderful thing about Chaos is that the fragrance completely belies the name. I don't find it chaotic at all. That lovely saffron note, the incense, and then that touch of musk in the base is straightforwardly heavenly. So I hope that your day matches the fragrance itself and not its name. ((((Mike)))) Thank you for the ee cummings treat last night. It's a lovely, delicate piece.

Re: SotD Friday, 15 February 2013

LOL Larimar, you made me smile! No dress code, you can wear whatever you like with Lyric, but I do agree, a little black dress looks great on every woman! I will take your suggestion and try it on a warm summer evening, maybe it would be perfect for watching fireworks too!!

It's Wine O'Clock and I'm beginning to feel like the odd one out here . Larimar impersonating Dita Von Teese, G sporting his bloomers - maybe I should raid Jenny's wardrobe and dress appropriately before I uncork
